"I currently live in Boniwadi village. Even in this generation of gadgets and TV, people from my village still listen to Mann Deshi Tarang Vahini and look forward to the various programmes they broadcast. After listening to 90.4Mhz, my general knowledge has really increased. I'm constantly telling people to listen to this radio station as its content is very relevant and informative."

"I run a cycle repair shop in the town of Mhaswad and during my work, I tune in to Mann Deshi Tarang Vahini. It has become a regular part of my routine. People from the neighboring shops often ask me to turn up the volume so everyone can listen to it. One of my favorite programmes on this radio channel is Malavarche shiwar (a programme that gives farming tips)."
